Simran Jawanda – Youth Volunteer Corps Team Leader

Simran has been volunteering with Volunteer Terrace since 2013. In her high school years, she began to further understand and appreciate the positive impact volunteering has on the community, other individuals, and one self. She is excited to work with Volunteer Terrace for the summer as the Youth Volunteer Corps (YVC) Team Leader. Simran believes that every individual has the potential to use their strengths and make a difference in their community. It is the matter of discovering your potential; she believes the YVC program is an excellent opportunity for youth to do so.

Simran is born and raised in Terrace. Currently, she is in her third year of Biomedical Studies at the University of Northern British Columbia in Prince George. During the school year, she is actively involved with many clubs on campus and non-profit organizations in the community. One of the challenges Simran faced moving away from home was getting used to the urban centre feelings. She was able to face it by joining the local Rotaract club that allowed her to get involved in the community and meet many new people. In her spare time, Simran enjoys cooking, reading, watching her favourite TV shows, and exploring the outdoors.
